Fresh off a three-game sweep of the inter-league rival New York Mets, the A’s return home today for a division series matchup with the Texas Rangers. Not only are the two teams tied for the lead in the American League West, but they are tied for the second-best record in the American League, period! Tonight, […]
No opt-outs here! Whether it’s a win or loss, home or away game, playoff game in a tropical climate or a mid-tier December bowl game in freezing temps/snowy weather in New York City, the position grades will be graded out. Think of this like your local mail carrier. Quarterback: A After a tough first half, […]
While Team Canada may end up looking identical to their 4 Nations roster, there are fascinating decisions to be made with the one of the Olympics favorites.
It’s always fun when the Edmonton Oilers square off against the Calgary Flames, and with a second Battle of Alberta happening only four days after the last one, it would be the understatement of a lifetime to say I was excited about Saturday’s rematch. And as hoped, the emotions were high, the pace was steady,…
Yesterday, we talked about one theme that stood apart with the Washington Wizards, specifically roster turnover. Today, we’ll do the same with the Washington Mystics. The Mystics, like the Wizards, ultimately have the same superboss, Monumental Basketball President Michael Winger. Winger was brought on in May 2023 to lead the organization, but primarily handled the […]
Barcelona are facing some big decisions this summer, not least how to replace ageing superstar Robert Lewandowski. The 37-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, and the current feeling is that he’s likely to leave on a free transfer. Several names have been mentioned as a possible replacement already, such as […]
This one’s pretty easy, because it says “Jackie Robinson Day, April 15, 2007” on the message board beneath the Wrigley Field scoreboard. Credit again goes to BCB reader Clark Addison. In fact, it’s the very first Jackie Robinson Day, and Griffey was the player most responsible for making that happen. April 15, 2007 was the […]
Today, the Cleveland Browns take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season. The Browns (3-12) are chasing the NFL sack record for Myles Garrett, and Shedeur Sanders starts his first game against a division rival. The Steelers (9-6) have won three straight games, and have incentive to win now after […]

We live in a hot take society now when it comes to sports “analysis”. If one wants to get noticed, either there needs to be some kind of completely nonsensical take on a topic or that person has to have such bad wardrobe choices so as to draw attention to him/herself. Or in the case […]
The Dallas Cowboys managed to scrape a win on Christmas Day against the Washington Commanders in a game that got close, closer than what some fans would have preferred. But how did the Cowboys rookie class perform during the divisional victory? Let’s take a look. OG Tyler Booker (Game stats- Snaps: 92, Pass Blocks: 49, […]
With a new year just around the corner, that means it’s time for some Top 10 lists. Bill Belichick had a miserable 2025. A complete listing of missteps, screw ups, and embarrassments would exceed the five act limit of a Shakespearean tragedy. How bad was Belichick’s 2025? Let’s review the Top 10 moments. If this […]
It has been a hell of a holiday week for me, culminating in my laptop taking a crap when we left. That’s okay, Jess is a professional, and he still got things done this week. So, without me, Jess grabbed Cincinnati Bengals guru Billy Ricette to discuss this matchup. It’s a little shorter because I […]
The Dallas Mavericks are wrapping up a tumultuous 2025, skidding to the finish line in ever-dramatic fashion. The hope would be clarity for a 2026 focused on a future surrounding rookie phenom Cooper Flagg, and putting away the baggage this year has accumulated. The focus of this week’s Power Rankings Watch, in a way, is […]
It wasn’t just what Ryan Poles said in his opening presser as Chicago Bears general manager, but the moment immediately following his last word that stuck with me: “We’re going to take the North and never give it back,” he said, followed by a flipping of the page as he continued his remarks. In reality, […]
Terry Smith talks about leading Penn State as the greatest moment of his life. Clemson was just not cut out to play in the cold. Trebor Pena was named Pinstripe Bowl MVP with a 100-yard receiving day that included an electrifying fourth quarter touchdown. Quinton Martin Jr.’s 101-yard rushing day could lead to big things […]
Is anyone else weirdly confident that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to beat the Buffalo Bills today? OK, so, I typed that sentence right before I checked the latest betting odds on the game. The Birds are back to being 2.5-point underdogs after previous line movement had the Bills favored by just 1.5 points. Now […]
Never was able to get into “Mad Men” when it started streaming. Seemed kind of forced, artificial almost. But I’m giving it another shot. Have watched first episode. Will advise. It does have me thinking in the context of bowl season about marketing and advertising and PR. And how the future of non-CFP bowls will […]
San Diego State loses against the Mean Green in a wild offensive showdown. Bert Emanuel Jr. stepped up as quarterback and showed he has the talent to help the Aztecs, rushing for 170 yards before being injured in the second quarter. On a beautiful afternoon in New Mexico, the Aztecs and North Texas Mean Green […]
DA BEARS ARE THE NFC NORTH CHAMPIONS . That’s not the end goal in a season that has become as compelling as this one, but it’s absolutely something you want to achieve when the year starts. And something very few would’ve predicted back in September. So I’m gonna smile about it. (Now go get that number one seed …. ) We’ll have more analysis on the Hunter Harvey signing , because, like I said, I love the potential upside there. Here, though, I wanted to talk about the various implication...
I suppose I should have gotten this up sooner, but Vox doesn’t pay me enough to recap a glorified exhibition game that LSU lost which ended at midnight. Anyway, LSU closed the book on its 2025 season with a 38-35 loss to Houston in the Texas Bowl. They will NOT be repeating as Kinder’s Texas […]

It was a hell of a slog, but Juventus pushed their way to a 2-0 victory against a pesky Pisa side on Saturday. It wasn’t anything like the encouraging performances against Bologna and Roma, but an encouraging win from this standpoint: winning when they haven’t played particularly well hasn’t been a habit the Juve of […]

A clash with Utah is all that sits between Washington and the program’s second deep dive into Big Ten conference play. Husky Nation entered this season with higher expectations than previous years, let alone last year’s headache of a campaign, but hopefulness has shifted to worry. Early December was promising for the Huskies. A close […]
